Fill assessment, inspection and compaction control testing for your next stage of construction. Practical site support from Statewide Labs by Statewide Geotechnical.
These summaries describe our service capabilities, not a project specification. Required coverage, testing frequency, acceptance criteria and reporting must be agreed for your project.
PROJECTS WE SUPPORT
Residential developments
Commercial construction
Roads & pavements
Trench backfilling
FIELD MEASUREMENTS. LABORATORY SUPPORT.
Connect the field result to the material.
Our scope includes field density testing using the nuclear gauge method. Density ratios compare field measurements with laboratory reference values to assess compaction.
Nuclear gauge: AS 1289.5.8.1
Density ratio: AS 1289.5.4.1 / 5.7.1
The applicable methods, reference tests and reporting requirements are confirmed for each engagement.
Discuss which tools and methods are appropriate for your site and specification.

BEFORE THE TEAM ATTENDS SITE
Plan the testing before the next layer.
Contact us before the relevant earthwork stage so inspection coverage, test requirements and attendance can be coordinated.
01
Send the project details
Provide the site address, superintendent or site contact, drawings, earthwork specification and proposed construction programme.
02
Confirm the engagement
Agree the inspection level, work areas, testing frequency, material reference tests, reporting and required dates with our team.
03
Coordinate site access
Confirm access, induction requirements, known hazards and site readiness. Attendance is subject to confirmation; an enquiry is not a confirmed booking.
HAVE A SPECIFICATION OR TEST SCHEDULE?Attach it to your enquiry so we can review the requirements.
The required service depends on your project specification and reporting needs. Level 1 includes full-time supervision within the agreed scope; Level 2 provides requested testing without a statement of compliance. Share your specification so the requirements can be reviewed before work starts.
Does a density test certify all of my fill?
No. Individual density results are not a statement of compliance for the entire earthwork project. Inspection coverage, material assessment and reporting obligations must be considered as part of the engagement.
Can you assess imported or on-site fill?
Our fill assessment service includes visual inspection, sampling and testing of proposed fill. Provide the source, material description, proposed use and project requirements so the assessment can be planned.
How do I arrange attendance?
Send us the site address, contact details, required service and proposed dates through the enquiry form, or call (03) 9879 2999. Our team will confirm availability, access requirements and the agreed scope.
